Chapter 620 Not a Secret Weapon anymore
Xie Kai certainly believed in Miller's strength, the two had played against each other in the finals.Miller is the kind of shooter who has proven himself, with a big heart and stability. He is far above Ellington, who the Grizzlies just let go this summer.
Mike Miller's current problem is that he is already an old man in his thirties, and his competitive state is declining. How much fuel is in the fuel tank can only be known through the game.
But with a basic salary, what bicycle do you need?If it is a middle class, perhaps Miller's age and state will be more concerned about the Grizzlies.
For the Grizzlies, as long as Miller can play half of the level he played with the Heat last season, they will be satisfied.With Xie Kai and Black Bear, as long as he can hit an open 3-pointer, he will complete the task.As for the dirty work or the heavy responsibility of organizing an offense, he doesn't need to bear it.
The Spurs also replaced the bench lineup: Yaodao, Red Mamba, Fatty, Belinelli and Mills.The advantage of this lineup is on the offensive end, 5 players can shoot 3-pointers, and 4 players can hold the ball.The disadvantage is that the defensive end is limited by age and athletic ability, and there is no big man to protect the frame inside. Even with the defensive system of the old thief Bobo, after all, the hardware is too poor, and there will be some hidden dangers.
But in this league, the lineup of total defense is very rare. The Spurs are the second team. It is enough to let the Pampas Eagles spread their wings and soar, and they are expected to defend like a starter?Do you want to die?
The Grizzlies didn't play because the generals didn't play, and coach Dave Jogel didn't use Nick Kravis, who was signed in the offseason, but asked Xie Kai to play point guard.The remaining four are: Ed Davis, Arthur, Mike Miller and Tony Allen.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "I didn't expect Coach Dave to let Xie Kai play point guard in the opening game. I thought it was a secret weapon. Why did he use it in advance?"
Yang Yi is also happy: "If this secret weapon is used too much, everyone has a countermeasure, and the Grizzlies will not hide it. The second lineup of the two sides is likely to compete for offense, good guy, shooter It's all set up."
"I'm a little worried about the Grizzlies' offense. Tony Allen is indeed a drag on the outside offense!" Yang Jian said with some concern.
Yang Yi shook his head: "No, it's not that Tony Allen can't shoot at all. When I was online with Xie Kai last time, I heard him say that Teacher Tony worked hard on outside shooting during the offseason. For the new contract, he also worked hard. And with Miller and Xie Kai here, the projection resources are enough."
Xie Kai dribbled the ball across the half, and it was Belinelli who was in charge of defending him.
Popovich didn't let Mills, who is 185cm, go for the matchup. Of course, he was afraid that Mills would suffer.And Belinelli is 196cm tall, at least in terms of height, Xie Kai will not suffer a disadvantage.
Belinelli is an Italian player who was selected by the Warriors with the 2007th pick in the first round of the 18 draft.After that, he began to be traded frequently and became a wandering player in the league.
On July 7 this year, Belinelli and the Spurs reached a signing agreement. On July 5, the two parties formally signed a contract with a value of 7 million US dollars for a period of two years.
The Spurs team is somewhat similar to the Mavericks, and they like to find some international players.These international players are not doing well in many NBA teams, and some are even about to be abandoned.But the old thief Bobo has this ability of "turning waste into treasure", which is beyond admiration.
Belinelli's defense is of course not as good as Danny Green's. His confrontation, speed, defensive experience and skills are all average. The only good thing is that he has a good defensive habit. Chance.
Belinelli started to entangle Xie Kai from the backcourt, and he was quite active.As a rookie in the team, if he wants to be in the top position and win the favor of the old thief Bobo, active defense and excellent offense are the best weapons.
Xie Kai's ball control is very stable. This summer's special training has made him more stable and his feet more solid, which surprised Belinelli who defended him.
The two had faced each other before, and of course Belinelli was not in the Spurs at the time!
Xie Kai held the ball to the top of the arc, and Arthur came out to cover.
Unexpectedly, Arthur was called a screen foul!
Even Arthur himself was confused, where did I make a foul?
The referee's explanation was that he moved his elbow when he was covering. Arthur expressed his innocence, but the penalty will not be changed.
The Grizzlies fans in the stands booed the referee. Today is depressing enough. It is obviously an important day for the championship flag to be raised at home, but it is not going well against this hateful opponent. The referee is now adding to the drama , How wicked!
However, the Spurs also reciprocated. The Red Mamba made a "butter hand" from the bottom corner and returned the ball to the Grizzlies.
The referee who called Arthur's cover foul just now let out a sigh of relief. It seems that he doesn't need to deliberately retrieve the whistle.It is true that Arthur's foul just now can be blown or not, and he regretted it because the home team was falling behind.
It was still the Grizzlies attacking, Xie Kai dribbled over and gave the ball to Miller.
Miller holds the ball and points to Tony Allen.
Tony Allen made a strong breakthrough with the ball and gave it to Arthur inside!
Arthur was flanked, he immediately looked for Xie Kai outside!
Xie Kai caught the ball, didn't stop the ball at all, and threw the ball with one hand to Miller who had been standing in the bottom corner for a long time!
Wow--
The Grizzlies fans couldn't help shouting out, knowing how afraid they were when Miller, who was wearing a Heat fan, stood in this position to take the ball in the finals a few months ago.Fortunately, this marksman is already one of his own!
Miller raised his hand steadily, and shot a 3-pointer - hollow into the frame!
You can have it with just one hand!
20:23，灰熊队将分差追至3分！距离首节比赛结束，还剩下1分10秒。
Yang Jian screamed: "This pass is too good, Miller got a huge open!"
Yang Yi sighed: "Letting Miller shoot 3-pointers in this situation is almost like practice."
The atmosphere in the FedEx Arena has turned up... The previous game was indeed too bad, which made the fans a little depressed. Fortunately, the newly joined sharpshooter Miller made the haze dissipate a lot.
Xie Kai and Miller clapped hands: "That's a great vote! Welcome home!"
Of course Miller knew what Xie meant by "going home". He had played for the Grizzlies for 6 seasons and was considered a veteran here.
Xie Kai still attaches great importance to Miller. Although Miller is not at the peak and his defense is not outstanding, but as a veteran, he has made more than 3% of his career 40-pointers, and he is very professional.Such a player is able to exert his residual heat.
On the Spurs side, Yaodao holds the ball, uses the cover to break through in a snake shape, and scores Belinelli diagonally!
Belinelli points to Mills at the top of the arc!
Mills took a step forward and made a two-pointer-also!
Answer ball!
